Handbook of the New Sexuality Studies

The field of sexuality studies has seen significant growth in academia, leading to the incorporation of sexuality courses across various disciplines. Despite this expansion, many existing texts are heavily theoretical and not tailored for an undergraduate audience. To address this gap, a new volume has been introduced that presents sexuality studies in an accessible and engaging manner for students. This book offers a fresh perspective by examining the social aspects of sexuality, including how social differences such as race and nationality contribute to sexual diversity and the interplay of sexuality with power and inequality. For the first time, it approaches the subject in a multicultural, global, and comparative framework from a social viewpoint. The volume includes over fifty concise and original essays on key topics in sexuality studies, along with interviews featuring twelve leading scholars who highlight innovative research in the field. Each contribution is designed to clearly communicate the latest findings, making it an essential resource for students and anyone interested in sexuality studies.
